New Distress Archival & Distress Embossing Glazes, Tim Holtz/ Ranger
I have so much fun to share with you today! Let’s get started!
Distress Archival Ink Pads
Tim Holtz & Ranger released new ink pad colors in the Distress Archival line. These ink pads are perfect to use when you are creating all your inky, wet, projects because it is waterproof, and once stamped they will not budge. What is fun about this line of inks is the colors are just like the Distress colors that we all love but in permanent ink! Shop the new inks here!
I created both of these cards at the same time. I started by stamping on Distress White Heavystock a variety of images from the Tim Holtz Field Notes stamp set. I used each of the new colors and stamped all over the piece of cardstock. Tip: I did this in the Misti, so I could quickly create two backgrounds at once!
I then did a little bit of ink smooshing over the background with Tea Dye Distress Ink. Spritzing it a bit with the Distress Sprayer to get water droplets, and heat setting it with the Ranger Heat Tool.
I then spread some Distress Crackle Texture Paste through a stencil.
Once that was dry, I diecut them with the Tim Holtz/Sizzix Mixed Media #3 dies. And splattered them with some Black Soot Distress Paint, and a splatter brush.
I die cut some butterflies from the Flutter Tim Holtz/Sizzix die set out of black cardstock. I kept one plain, and one I coated heavily with Gold Stickles. For the sentiments, I used Tim Holtz/ Ideaology Quote Chips, and I also used the letters that cut out from the background to spell out “dream” on black cardstock.

Distress Embossing Glazes
Tim Holtz & Ranger released new colors in the Distress Embossing Glaze line. These embossing powders are perfect to use when you are creating all your projects, where you want many layers of different mediums and techniques. Because they are a translucent embossing powder, they allow you to build up color, without losing the texture or design you have created underneath! Shop the new Distress Embossing Glazes here!
For these cards, I started by stamping the Tim Holtz/Stampers Anonymous Tiny Text stamps with Black Soot Archival Ink, onto some Distress White Heavystock. I kept the stamp whole/together, and just placed the cardstock down onto it. I didn’t want it to stamp perfectly, I just wanted bits and pieces of text as seen above.
Using a clear Distress Embossing Dabber, I inked up the Halftone and Rings Tim Holtz/Stampers Anonymous stamp. I stamped it over the background with the tiny text. I then sprinkled on the Distress Embossing Glazes in the new colors.
I then embossed the image with a Wagner heat tool.
For the sentiment, I die cut some of the sentiments from the new Tim Holtz/Sizzix Bold Text 1, out of black cardstock. I used foam squares to add these to the card front. I also die cut some stars from the Tim Holtz/Sizzix Falling Stars die.
I added some silver stickles to the stars. I was having so much fun creating these cards, I made one more, but this time on Kraft Distress Heavystock.
On this one, I diecut a leaf out of black cardstock from the Tim Holtz/Leaf Fragments Die and used one of Tim’s Idea-ology Label stickers for the sentiment.
